Attorney Elizabeth Campbell turned her back on her silver spoon upbringing and finds emotional fulfillment in her work at a nonprofit legal clinic, much to the dismay of her parents. Her
propensity for bending the law, as well as uttering a few choice phrases, makes her pairing with a Catholic priest to investigate the case of a simple man with an IQ of a child, who confessed
to a brutal killing, a challenge. But solving a gruesome murder is not even her greatest trial?it’s her growing attraction to sexy but cranky Detective Grace Donovan who is hell-bent on
keeping her client in prison. While chasing a mystery that found its way from the concentration camps of WWII to an abandoned Catholic school, Elizabeth and Grace struggle to set personal
boundaries, as their relationship slowly evolves from one of hostility to indifference, to something neither wishes to define.
